Intro :
C#7       

 F#                     C#7                
There's a guy I'd like to kill
F#               C#7               
If he doesn't stop I will
F#                 B   F#          
He's got a uku- le- le, 
                             C#7       F#
and a voice that's loud and shrill

B                           F#7               
'Cause he lives next door to me
B                    F#7                 
And he keeps me up till three
B             F#7 B          G#7         C#7   
With his uku- le- le and a funny mel- o- dy

Chorus :
F#                              
Crazy words, crazy tune
All that you'll ever hear him croon
G#7              C#7                       F#   C#7 
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe Vo-doe doe 

F#                                    
Sits around, all night long
Sings the same words to every song
G#7              C#7          F#    
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe

          A#7               
His uku- lele, daily
D#7                      
How he'll strum!
Bum bum bum!
G#7                            
Vampin' and stampin'
C#7                                           
Then he hollers, "Black bottom!"

F#                              
Crazy words, crazy tune
He'll be driving me crazy soon
G#7              C#7           F#  C#7 
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe 

F#                      C#7               
I have begged that guy to stop
F#              C#7              F# 
I have even called a cop 
                     B   F#                C#7   F#   
Told my dog "Go sic him", but that dog wouldn't go

B                     F#7               
But tonight will be the end
B                      F#7          
Yes siree, 'cause I intend
B               F#7  B              G#7        C#7    
To go up and kick him in the vo doe doe de oh doe

Chorus :
F#                                  
Napoleon marched his men
Turned around and he said to them
G#7              C#7                 F#  C#7 
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe 

F#                                  
Washington, Valley Forge
Man, 'twas cold but spoke George

Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe

          A#7                 
Remember Patrick Henry
D#7                                        
In That speech, famous speech
         G#7                       
Cried, "Give me, give me
C#7                                   
"Liberty or black bottom!"

F#                              
You all heard yesterday
What did President Coolidge say
G#7              C#7                 F#    
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe

               A#7                      
He's got to stop it, stop it
D#7                                   
Yes he must, or I'll just
G#7                            C#7                                        
Kill him, I'll kill him Then I'll do the black bottom

F#                                        
When I'm jailed, upon my knee
To the jury and the judge I'll plead
G#7              C#7                 F#  C#7 
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe 

F#                 C#7               
Now the minuet, quiet bliss
F#                           C#7                    
Calm and peaceful, it went like this
G#7              C#7                 F#  C#7 
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe 

F#          C#7                     
The Polka too was a treat
F#                              C#7                       
Your partner said if you tread on his feet
G#7              C#7                 F#    
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe

               A#7                       
The gliding Foxtrot we've got
D#7                                   G#7 
And the blues, if you choose 
We've got the Charleston
C#7                                           
And we'll soon have Black Bottom

F#          C#7                 
Our vicar said, "Ah, me
F#                              C#7                 
Friends, our hymn for to- night will be

Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe 

Chorus :
F#                                   
It's a rage, it's a craze
Everybody sings now-a-days
G#7              C#7                 F#  C#7               
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe Vo doe doe

F#                              
Every goof, every sheik
Tunes his uke and begins to shriek
G#7              C#7                 F#    
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe

              A#7                                  
Go on the east side, the west side
D#7                                   
Here or there, everywhere
G#7                              
They vo doe, vo doe doe
C#7                                            
Then they holler, "Black bottom!"

F#                                   
Young or old, old or young
The guy that started it should be hung
G#7              C#7                 F#    
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe

G#7       C#7       F#    G#7       C#7       F#
